Welcome back to pupils and staff as the Board look forward to a safe and productive year.

Thanks to those parents who have paid their Voluntary Contribution, which forms a substantial part of the school budget. We would ask those who have not yet paid to please do so or make an arrangement with the school.

We would like to sincerely thank the outgoing Parents’ Association committee for their great work and for their energy and enthusiasm in raising much-needed funds for the school. We know that families have busy lives but would encourage all parents to get involved with the PA as they make such a difference to your child’s school experience. We look forward to working with the new committee this year.

Thanks also to Ms Doherty for continuing to manage and train the school’s football team. We know it is a big commitment. We are aware that many teachers give of their time above and beyond the school day in order that the children can get the most out of their time in our school.
